Alternatives

Our Alternative Investment Strategies team offers a full range of global hedge fund strategies across the liquidity spectrum. We help investors build more robust and diversified portfolios by providing research, access, implementation and ongoing management of portfolios of alternative investments.

Environmental, social and governance
Our investment research incorporates the consideration of material ESG factors, so that we can more accurately understand the risks and opportunities presented by a potential investment

The key pillars of our investment approach:

Specialist managers
In depth proprietary research to identify best-in-class managers and opportunities
Source opportunities from across global network of specialist researchers

Broad insights
Strategy specialist teams operating within a pan-alternatives structure
Shared insights within and across research groups

Operational due diligence
Maintain independence in operational due diligence
If the legal, governance or administrative structure is not acceptable: do not invest

Liquid Alternatives
We manage several regulated, daily-dealing funds based on managed accounts. The assets are managed by specialist alternative investment managers under Aberdeen Standard Investments’ control. These products allow investors access to hedge fund strategies which may not be available to the wider market in a regulated structure.

Customised portfolios
Designed and managed for our clients to meet their strategy, risk and return characteristics

Managed account solutions
We also design and construct portfolios for clients using third party hedge fund managers via managed accounts. This allows for greater asset control, transparency and customisation.

Advisory relationships
We provide tailored research and thought leadership to large, sophisticated institutional investors and advise on their hedge fund investments
